Pathways
Friends of Pathways is the community advocate for a complete pathways system, partnering with government agencies for construction support and ongoing education and encouragement programs. Over 53 miles of pathways have been completed in Teton County with an additional 16 miles in Grand Teton National Park. We’re working diligently with local government to help complete the remaining “missing links” of our pathway system proposed by the 2007 Pathways Master Plan. Visit us here to keep up-to-date on these current projects.
As part of the south highway 89 widening project, the adjacent pathway will be extended, from Game Creek (where it ends now) to the Swinging Bridge. A new tunnel will connect to Game Creek and then head south on the east side of the highway. The new pathway segment will also provide a safe route to the new Munger school for students in the area, including a tunnel near the school access road.
Friends of Pathways and the Town of Jackson engaged engineering and design firm, Mobycon, to develop a Dutch type of solution to make this critical travel way more inviting. In 2018, a pilot project was conducted to launch this new design, which resulted in an increase in the number of cyclists and reduced speeds from vehicles.
This project will make May Park more accessible to nearby neighborhoods by bridging Cache Creek Ditch and improving the alley on the western edge of the park with a safe and inviting walk/bike route.
With the completion of the Budge Drive Stabilization Project, the cycletracks on the north side of Broadway will be completed, so cyclists will no longer have to veer from their protected route onto the highway.

TRAILS
Trails
Friends of Pathways has a formal partnership with the USFS to collaborate on design, construction and stewardship of local trails for all users – hike, bike, horse, and ski. We’re committed to providing easy year round access to trails that are essential to maintaining our high quality of life in Jackson Hole.
The Teton Pass Bridge Project rebuilt 14 bridges that had been significantly damaged at troublesome creek crossings and bog areas. In 2019, the Youth Trail Crew will replace the final two bridges to complete the project.
